What's Wrong With Social Equality?

[Mister D]

It's not a matter of becoming, but of actual being. Do you understand what gender dysphoria is?

Trans women were born female on the inside, as in literally in terms of the shape of their brains and/or gene structure. People can generally tell when their sex and their gender are mismatched, which is why children typically figure out if there's a mismatch before age five. And conversely, the same can be said of trans men: trans men were born male on the inside quite literally.

WTF does it mean to be "born female on the inside"? Oh, that's right. It's a symptom of a disorder. Do you know what disorder means, Polly? I'll keep it simple for you: it means something is wrong with the organism. In this case, the organism feels very strongly that he is not a he or she is not a she despite what their biology dictates. The dictates of biology cause the organism distress. Do you know what dictate means, Polly? It means to decide authoritatively or to prescribe.

Again, your biological sex is not a choice. A male cannot become a female any more than he can become a giraffe.

I give up, obviously you want to evade discussion rather than engage in it.

The fact that I carry a wallet, not a purse, aside (), maybe I should clarify: What I mean is that, while this would not be viable in the immediate term, I feel that eventually humanity will be able to, and should move to, abolish money and barter and instead utilize a gift economy. To this end, In the political arena I support policies that I believe move us in that general direction.

The difference between turning exclusive property into universal property on the one hand and someone simply taking another person's exclusive property for themselves without consent on the other is self-evident. What I'm calling theft here is the transformation of public accumulation into private wealth, particularly as the basic laws of capitalism ensure that this necessarily occurs with general disregard for human need. Taxation of the propertied classes, in as far as it is used to supply those needs, is, in my mind, tantamount to "extorting" thieves in the service of the public and hence is no crime or tragedy.

Well, I'm not a capitalist, so I don't feel obliged to defend capitalism.

But I'm not sure what you mean by "exclusive property" and "universal property" or how you distinguish between the two.

I've found the Marxist interpretation of property to be quite confusing at times.

Social equality, lol.

Because our brand of "social equality" is based on discriminating against others.

People here are always whining about social justice struggles, i.e. the fight for cultural equality between people of all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and classes. Here's your chance to explain. Share your objections to social equality.

Well first of all, humans are animals. Social equality doesn't exist anywhere else in the animal kingdom. You would have to be telling yourself some pretty big lies to think that it should happen amongst different species of human too.
